James Franco Pictures: James Franco attends the Brooks Brothers holiday celebration to benefit St. Jude Children's Hospital at Brooks Brothers on December 9, 2009 in New York City.
The holiday season is when St. Jude Children's Research Hospital launches its annual Thanks and Giving campaign and seeks donations to treat more than 5,500 seriously ill kids every year. Begun in Memphis by actor Danny Thomas in 1962, St. Jude is now able to cure 90 percent of the cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia — the most common childhood cancer — that it treats.
